15:58:10 - Yellow Jersey For A Six-Pack Of Beer...
After Floyd Landis regained the lead of the Tour de France at the top of L'Alpe d'Huez he decided that he wanted a beer to celebrate the moment. On the road down to his hotel, his team car pulled over and the American traded a yellow jersey for a six-pack of beer with a spectator..
YOU GO FLOYD!

...of this stage was when Landis picked up a big chunk of time on rival Carlos Sastre on the final descent!!! That's such an underrated skill, and helps show why Floyd is such a great all-around rider.
Such a seemingly small thing might prove huge come Saturday's final TT... :mad5:

Ullrich canned by T-Mobile...
Just read that pro cycling team T-Mobile has fired former Tour de France winner (and many times runner-up to Lance) Jan Ullrich due to his alleged connection to the Spanish doping scandal that's been responsible for many big names not being in this year's race.
Seems they're demanding proof of his innocence, and have taken this drastic step without any hard evidence yet of who's done what. Oh, and they did it by FAXING the team manager with the news...
Boy, ain't that a twist from what we've come to expect "due process" to be?
Hey, maybe Team Discovery should offer Jan a job. Ya think??? :idea: :confused:
Re: Ullrich canned by T-Mobile... GOOD!

I have never been much of a fan of Janny Boy...
Discovery doesn't need his drama!
So I feel it is about time!
His work ethic isn't all that great, in my opinion.
So maybe this will be a wake up call that he needs.
:nono: :lol:

Wouldn't you be a little miffed that you were born at the same time that Lance Armstrong was? :D In the later years of Lance's run I always wanted to see a dual between them but it never really materialized. They both have such different styles of riding it was always kinda fun to watch.
Lance the dancing american on his bike and Jan the big german machine just grinding out his big gears.
